A company has been utilizing templates in its environment. It is running a 10-node ESXi 5.x
Cluster and DRS has not been configured. Several virtual machines have been deployed from this
template and successfully powered on, but a newly deployed virtual machine will not power on.
There appears to be adequate CPU and Memory resources available on the host.
Which three things can be done to allow more virtual machines to be deployed into the cluster
from this template? (Choose three.)
A.
Deploy the virtual machine to a different host using the same datastore
B.
Enable DRS on the cluster to balance the virtual load out across hosts
C.
Increase the virtual machine memory reservation
D.
Move the swap file to a different location
E.
Select a different datastore for the virtual machine
Explanation:
QUESTIONNO: 318
Which functionality does vSphere HA provide?
A.Automatic restart of virtual machines
B.Automatic balancing of server workloads
C.High availability of ESXi hosts in a cluster
D.Zero downtime for virtual machines
ANS. CDE
Yes, CDE
C,D,E Exactly
I dunno what C could do since there should be enough memory but D and E are good
Must be:
A. Running on a different host is an option!
B. DRS VMware will start the machine on a different Host!
C. Makes things WORSE (you should DECREASE the reservation = less memory RESERVED when running! Means more memory resources for other VM’s)
D. Moving SWAP Files does not solve anything in this scenario (= diskspace).
E. Moving the VM to a different datastore is plausible because this could be on another Host….
So I would choose A, B and E.
Bart,
If you increase the memory reservation, you decrease the swapfile size. In the scenario above, the limiting resource is disk space for the swapfile. Hence, “CDE”
Answer is C, D, E.
The host is running out of space. New deployed virtual machines can not be powered on because there is not free space available to create swap file.
